Glass Door Pull Handles: 11 Models, One Pair Per Leaf
For a glass door pull handle, order one pair per leaf. Model 100 is the plain choice: a straight 600 mm round tube in 304 stainless steel for 10 to 12 mm glass. Settle the shape first, because the holes are cut before tempering.

One pair per leaf: how to count
A pair is one handle on each face of the glass, fixed through the same holes. A quotation priced per piece can be half of what you expect, so ask for the price per pair.
- 100, 102, 104, 106 and 107 are shown as two grips joined through the glass.
- 108, 109, 110, 112 and F109 are drawn as one handle, while the door photographs show one on each face.
- The 108 photograph shows two bolts with the bar, so say if you want a bar on one face only. The fixing is not the same.
- 105 is shown as one closed frame, so have the fixing and the count per leaf confirmed.
| Opening | Leaves | Handle pairs |
|---|---|---|
| Single door | 1 | 1 |
| Pair of doors | 2 | 2 |
| Two pairs side by side | 4 | 4 |
Five details that change the price or the fit
- Tube wall: 100, 102, 106 and 107 list 1.0 mm with 0.8 mm as the option, and 104 lists either. Write the wall on your order so two quotations compare like for like.
- Steel grade: 100 to 107 list 304. 108, 110, 112 and F109 list stainless steel with no grade, and 109 lists neither. Ask for the grade in writing.
- Length: we list 600 mm for 100 to 107. The 100, 108, 109, 110 and F109 pages also draw other lengths, so state the one you want.
- Depth: a pair measures 148 mm through the glass on 100, 147 mm on 102 and 125 mm on 106. A leaf that opens toward a wall stops at the handle, at roughly half that depth.
- Mirroring: 110 curves one way, so say whether the two leaves of a pair should mirror each other.
Where the handle goes on the glass
- Fit the handle on the edge away from the hinge side, so the leaf has leverage.
- On a pair, each handle sits near the meeting edge of its own leaf.
- Keep the foot of the handle clear of a patch lock at the lower corner of the same edge.
- In the US, ADA Standards 404.2.7 set door hardware 865 to 1,220 mm (34 to 48 in) above the floor. Elsewhere, confirm the height with the local authority.
- EN 12150-1 gives a general rule for tempered glass: keep a hole edge at least twice the glass thickness from the glass edge. Your glass processor has the final say.
What to send the supplier
- Model number and the number of pairs.
- Glass thickness.
- Length, tube wall and finish.
- A handle on both faces, or on one face.
- A drawing with the handle position measured from the leaf edge and the floor.
- A request for the hole size and centers, to pass to your glass processor before tempering.
- For glass that is already tempered, the measured centers of the existing holes, because new holes cannot be added.
Questions buyers ask
Do I order one handle or a pair for a glass door?
Order one pair per leaf, with a handle on each face of the glass. A pair of doors takes two pairs. Ask for the price per pair so a per-piece quotation does not catch you out.
Do glass door pull handles need holes in the glass?
Yes. The legs of 100 to 107 pass through the glass, as the door photographs show. Holes are cut before tempering, so fix the model and position before the glass is ordered.
Which handle fits 8 mm glass?
F132, listed for 8 to 12 mm. Handles 100 to 107 are listed for 10 to 12 mm, so they are not for 8 mm glass.
Which stainless steel glass door handle has the most listed detail?
100, 102, 104, 106 and 107 list 304 stainless steel, a 600 mm length and a tube size. We also list a Stainless Steel Glass Door Pull Handle with no published size, so have its size confirmed if you prefer it.
What is the difference between 109 and F109?
Their pages show the same flat bar on two round posts and the same drawing. Put one number on your order and have the size and material confirmed on the quotation.
Does a pull handle lock or close the door?
No. A pull handle only gives a grip. A frameless door also needs a floor spring to close it and a patch lock to secure it, so order those with the handle.
